DEWmocracy 1


DEWmocracy was a marketing campaign by Pepsi to let their consumers vote on what the next Mountain Dew flavor would be.  In November 2007, the campaign kicked off with a website, short film and an online roleplaying game.  In January 2008 the three flavors were announced. 

In the summer of 2008, after all three flavors had been given fan-created names and can designs, they were released to the public and people could vote for their favorite nominee on the website through the end of July.

The candidates were:
  1. Revolution - "Wild Berry Fruit Flavor and Ginseng"
  2. Supernova - "Strawberry Melon Flavor and Ginseng"
  3. Voltage - "Raspberry Citrus Flavor and Ginseng"

The winning flavor, Voltage, was announced on August 19, 2008.  Supernova came in second with Revolution bringing up the rear.
